The Strain Lyrics
Inside he wants to surviveSurgeons working hard to try to keep him aliveHe's only fourteen years oldBeside the bed a cop sighsDon't think it's fair he's too young to diePulse slows and then his heart quitsDoctor's try to shock his life backThey're unaware that in the street he sells crackBullet hole through the kidneysThe man who shot him understoodIf he could turn it round I'm sure that he wouldIn times of greed and hateOne must evaluateThe cause of all this painSocial problems stay the sameIn times of greed and hateOne must retaliateThe truth is never plainUnderstand this is the strainTried to reach society's standardHave wealth makes you a good manNot in the wrong he just wants to fit in the planTeach our kids of wealth and powerIf you happen to live on the wrong sideGot to live a life of crime just to keep you aliveToday morality has lostEveryone's reaching for the topWe can't change the world if a bullet can't be stoppedIn this age we've lost all our valuesAnd maybe nothing can sufficeIf it's true we'll crush ourselves in a self destructive viceIn times of greed and hateOne must evaluateThe cause of all this painSocial problems stay the sameIn times of greed and hateOne must retaliateThe truth is never plainUnderstand this is the strain
